FROM A SILHOUKTTE IN THE AUTHOR'S POSSESSION. 




EDWARD H. EYERMAN (ABOUT 1857). 
FROM A DAGUERREOTYPE IN THE AUTHOR'S POSSESSION. 



6 Jan. 1883; m. 15 Oct. 1844 at Easton, by the Rev. B. C. Wolff, Anna M. 
Black, daughter of James Black and Mary Kachlein (307), of Easton, 
b. 17 Aug. 1820, d. 28 Oct. 1891. Had one son, Edward (4). 

Captain Ellis savs : "He took an active part in the local organizations of the many 
"different stock companys. ***** In this respect the life of Mr. Eyerman is a 
"plain proof that an extended bu.siness may be diligently and succe.ssfully conducted, 
"without neglecting the higher duties of life. In his whole life, he has strictly adhered to 
"what he believed to be duty, and in every position he has relied for success upon principle 
"and persevering industry. ' * * * * * In official position, he has manifested the same 
"regard for the interest of others as for his own." 



cycr^ 







Captain Eyerman was one of the incorporators of the Warren Foundry and 
Machine Co. 1856, of the Lehigh Water Co. 1S60, the Delaware Rolling Mills Co. 1866, the 
North Penn Iron Co. In 1868 he was elected Presideut of the Easton Delaware Bridge Co. 
and of the Easton Water Co., both of which offices he continued to hold until his death in 
1883. At various times he was director of the Easton National Bank, the North Penn Iron 
Co., the Phillipsburg Stove Works Co. He was treasurer and member of the Vestry of 
Christ and St. Paul's Churches. He served at different times as Notary Public, member of 
the School Board and of the Town Council, and very frequently as Executor, Administrator 
and Trustee of Estates. He was largely interested in the many iron industries of the 
Lehigh Vallej'. 

"For many years he took an active interest in military affairs. * * * * He 
"was a member of the 'Citizens' Volunteers' for six years and in 1851 was appointed 
"Captain of the 'National Guards.' During the late Rebellion he aided the Government 
"in every possible way in the formation of volunteer companys and in visiting and 
"contributing to the relief of the soldiers' families." 

An old broadside in my possession, "Fourth of July" Anniversary Celebration, 
75th Year of Our Independence, announces that. The National Guards commanded by 
Capt. Eyerman will parade on that day and join the party on "The Island" in the 
afternoon.

Sibila Heller (203), daughter of Christian B. Heller (221) and Henrietta 
Detwiller (194), b. 2 Oct. 1846. Had JOHN (3). 

Edward Herster Eyerman was baptized in Christ Church, and at an early age he 
attended the Easton .\cademy and later the Pennsylvania Military Academy at Chester. 

Ellis says : "Growing to manhood, influence and usefulness, his cheerful and social 
"disposition rendered his companionship genial and attractive and surrounded him with an 
"extended circle of warmly attached friends." 

.\t the age of 22 years he founded the firm of E3-erman & Co. as agents for the 
Delaware Rolling Mills Co. and for the manufacture of iron. (The present site of the 
Baker & Adamson Chemical Co.'s works.) He was a member of St. Paul's Church.

'the safe retreat of Washington and his army." 




CDFF-LINKS WORN BY COL. KACHLEIN AT THE TIME OF HIS DEATH AND FOUND AT THE TIME HIS 

REMAINS WERE REINTERRED IN EASTON CEMETERY BY ORDER OF JOHN 

EYERM.4N, 190I, 112 YEARS AFTER HIS DEATH. 

Extracts from letters of Robert L. Hooper, Jr., D. C. of Prisoners, to E. Boudinot, 
Esq., Commissary General of Prisoners: 

"Col. Peter Kachlein who was taken on Long Island was a Lieut. Colonel in the 
Flying Camps — he is a wealthy German, has great influence over the Germans and would 
be very useful to us if he was exchanged — He is now on Parole and at his home near this 
Town — You'll do essential Service if you can get this man exchanged — Won't Dikens do 
for him — 

May 23, 177S. 

I have been intimate with Colo: Kachlein for many years and as he is my near 
Neighbor have had frequent Opportunities of conversing with him since he returned home 

on parole he has at several times expressed to me an earnest desire to be at liberty to 

exert himself in support of our cause — he has in confidence often mentioned to me the 
cruel treatment he and our officers reed, when Prisoners — He was without exception before 
he left this county one of the most firm and spirited Germans in this County in support of 
our Cause and has since he returned twice solicited me to endeavor to get him exchanged 
& I think it my duty in justice to Colo: Kachlein's character to say that I know he is a man 
of consequence and influence in this County and that to the best of my knowledge he has 
used it to serve our Cause before he was taken prisoner and since, to me he appeared 
warmly attached to it. 

RoBT. L. Hooper Jr

Lieutenant Finch and Ensign Hankey are all the officers under my Care and they 
now go to meet you accompanied by Colo: Kachlein who at my particular request has been 
so obliging as to escort these Gentlemen — If in procuring Colo: Kachlein's Exchange any 
security or parole in any way necessary to set his Character in a belter light I will 
subscribe to any engagement he makes for I know him to be a Man of strict Honor, an 
Honest Man & a true Whig.

'$^^M3i 



HRISTOPHER HELLER, with his 

son, Johan Simon, embarked at Rotterdam in 
the ship " IVinter Galley,'''' Edward Paynter, 
master, and arrived at Philadelphia 5 Sept. 
1738 {2d Pa. Arch. XVII, p. 148). In all 
probability Christopher was accompanied by his 

younger sons, although we have no actual proof of the same, as 

these brothers of Johan Simon were under the age of sixteen years 

and were not required to register upon arrival. 

Christopher Heller received his patent for land in Lower 

Saucon tsp. 8 Sept. 1742, and settled, with his children, at 

Hellertown. 

1. CHRISTOPHER HEI.LER, b. 1688, d. 1778; he had Johan 
Simon (396J, Michael (397), Daniel (398), Ludwig (399), Christopher 
(400), Elizabeth (401). 

2. (396) JOHAN SIMON HELLER, alluded to as Simon, b. at "Petters-

(410), Anthony (411), Simon (412), Louisa (413), Veronica (414), 
Mary (415). 

Simon Heller received his land patent in Oct. 1746. On ist Feb. 1763 Richard 
Peters conveyed to Simon 151 acres of land in Lower Saucon (A. I. 338). In 1756 Captain 

25 



Craig was ordered to escort Simon Heller's wagons to Fort Allen. {Frontier Forts, Vol. /, 
and M$s. Records, iyzj-5S,p. 2or.) In 1766, he was appointed an "Inspector Freeholder" 
for the County. (3lss. Records iy^S-6^, p. 247.) 

His name and that of his father (?), Christopher, appear in the visitors' book of the 
old "Crown Inn " at South Bethlehem. [Skizzen aus dent Lecha-Thale, p. 186.) 

He was frequentlj' appointed to view and lay out roads in different parts of the 
County ; in 1760 (with Peter Bogert) to lay out a road in Salisbury ; in 1764 to lay out a 
road from Chestnut Hill to Nazareth. 

He and his wife and some of his children are buried in the Plainfield yard. Other 
children are buried in Hamilton (Monroe) and Upper Mt. Bethel; his grandson Jacob 
and most of his descendants in the Easton cemetery.

APPEL 

OHN PETER APPEL, with his three 
children, John, Philip and a daughter, came to 
America in the year 1733. (Ship ^''Phik 
Mary^'' 29 Sept. 2d Pa. Arch. XVII, p. 100.) 
They settled in Lower Saucon tsp., the father 
having purchased 250 acres of land near 
Appel's Church and two large tracts in Springfield tsp. 

1. JOHN PETER APPEL (d. 1664?) had 2 Philip, d. s. p., 2 2. 
daughter, d. s.p., and 2 John (331). 

John Peter Appel, on 28 July 173S, received a patent for 300 acres of land in Upper 
Saucon tsp. In 1743 upon petition of John Appel and others Saucon was erected into a 
separate township. {History Lehigh County, 424-27.) 

As early as 1740 we find John Peter Appel owning several large tracts of land in 
Lower Saucon and Springfield tsps. Most of this original land is still in the hands of the 
family. In 1760 he purchased 200 acres 66 pchs. from Joseph Samuel, which in 1764 he 
conveyed to his son John. ( Votes 0/ Assembly, 176s, p. 420. )

John Appel is on the tax list of Saucon for 1767, assessed for 80 acres of cleared and 
180 acres of wood laud, and on the list for 1773 he is assessed for 400 acres and is noted as 
having seven children. 

At the time of his death he owned 330 acres of land in the Carolinas. He was 
twice married, his second wife's name being Catharine, who survived him.

WAGENER 




'^^J^ 



ASPER WAGENER, of Ober-Langneun- 
dorf, was in 17 19 cited several times to appear 
in tlie instniction given by the Jesuits. In 
1727 he was married by the priest to Anna, 
and promised to bring up his children in the 
Catholic faith. He passed through the trials 
of the Jesuit mission, probably had his two children, Christopher 
and Anna Rosina, baptized into the Catholic faith, and fled to 
Goerlitz in the Winter or Spring of 1736, and later to Berthelsdorf 
Before the migration of 1737 he was killed, the daughter Anna 
Rosina died, and DAVID (379) was born. The widow-mother 
with her two sons, Christopher and David, fled to America, arriv- 
ing at Philadelphia in the ship Sf. Andrew Galley, John Stedman 
master, 26 Sept. 1737. 

The Wagener families mentioned in connection with the 
Jesuit mission lived in Harpersdorf and Langneundorf and were 
firm, resolute and fearless Schwenkfelders. Their given names 
were Casper, Friedrich, Heinrich, David, Regina, Melchior, George. 
(Prof H. W. Kriebel.) 

Anna Wagener and her two sons settled in Worcester tsp., 
Montgomery Co.

EDICT. 

Concerning the re-establishment of the so called Schwenckfeldians in Silesia and 
other Provinces of his Roj-al Majesty ; De dato Selowitz, the 8th March 1742. 

We, Frederick, by the Grace of God, King of Prussia, Margrave of Brandenberg, 
Arch-Chamberlain and Elector of the Holy Roman Empire, &c. &c. 

Be it known to all to whom these presents maj' come, Whereas we do hold nothing 
to be more contrary to Nature, Reason and the Principles of the Christian Religion, as the 
forcing of the subjects' consciences and to persecute them about any erroneous doctrines 
which do not concern the fundamental principles of the Christian Religion ; so we have 
most graciously resolved that the so called Schwenchfeldians who were exiled through an 
imprudent zeal for Religion, to the irreparable damage of commerce and the country, be 
recalled into our Sovereigu Duchy of Nether Silesia. We have, therefore, thought fit by 
these presents to assure all those who profess the said doctrine, upon our Royal word, that 
they shall and may safely return not only into our Sovereign Duchj- of the Nether-Silesia 
but also into all our provinces, peaceably to live and trade there ; since, we not only do 
receive them into our special protection, but also will give them all necessarj' supplies for 
the promotion of their commerce. And all those who several j'ears ago, were deprived of 
their habitations and estates in our Country of Silesia in case those estates are not paid for 
b)' the new possessors, shall be reinstated without any compensation. Such as will settle in 
our villages shall have farms assigned them, and care shall be taken to provide them em- 
ployment — and those who choose to live in towns, shall besides several ordinary Free 
years, have places assigned them gratis, for the building of their houses, for which purpose 
they need only apply to our Military and (Domainen) Chambers. 

We do therefore command our superior Colleges of Justice and Finance as also all 
mediate Princes, Lords, Magistrates, &c. carefully to observe the same. In witness whereof 
we have signed this present Edict with our own hand, and caused our Roj'al Seal to be 
affixed. 

Done at Selowitz, March 8th, 1742. 

FREDERICK of Coccey, 

Count of Munchan (Seal) 

From a copy of Melchoir Wegener's translation, sent to the author by Ethan Allen 
Weaver, Esq., of Philadelphia. The original transcript was at one time in the possession of 
Daniel Wagener (28). This edict was issued several years after the emigration of the 
Schwenkfelders, but notwithstanding the promises of aid and protection not one of the 
emigres returned. 

It is a noteworthy fact that when the Amsterdam house, which generously furnished 
the passage of these emigres, became financially embarrassed in 1790, the Schwenkfeldians 
in Pennsylvania, in remembrance of past kindness, advanced to the house for its relief the 
sum of ^700.

HERSTER 



NDREW HERSTER was born in the 
year 1726. At the age of twenty-three he 
embarked at Rotterdam on the ship ^''Speed- 
well^'' Capt. James Craig, and qualified at 
Philadelphia 25 Sept. 1749. {2d Pa. Arch. 
XVII, p. 294.) He settled at Long or Falkner 
Swamp, near Pottstown. In 1766, ten years 
after his marriage, he removed to Baston with his family. 




I. ( ) ANDREW HERSTER, b. 1726, died ou the British prison ship 
''Jersey'' 25 Dec. 1776; m. 16 Dec. 1756 Anna Maria Marstellar (see 
Marstellar, 357), b. 23 Aug. 1736, d. 25 Sept. 1830. Issue: John (129), 
Daniel (130), Mary (131). 

In the records of the Augustus (Trappe) Lutheran Church* in Providence tsp., 
Montgomery, occurs the following : 

"Andreas Herster married i6 Dec. 1756, at John Koplin's house, Anna Maria, 
daughter of Peter Marstaller." 

In 1760 his name appears on Pastor Muhlenberg's subscription list for £\, 10 sh. 
yearly from 27 Nov. 1760. 

On the ninth day of July 1776 Andrew Herster was appointed second sergeant in 
Capt. John Amdt's First Battalion of Associators, a part of the Flying Camp of ten thousand 
men. [zd Pa. Arch. XIV, p. 558, and Rosengarten's "The German Soldier," p. 154.) It 
appears that he took the place of his son John, who had previously enlisted. 



* The oldest Lutheran Church in Pennsylvania. 

53 



, In the company's first engagement at the Battle of Long Island, 27 Aug. 1776, he 

was taken prisoner and confined in the British prison ship "Jersey" ( zd Pa. Arch. XIV, 
p. 561), where he died 25 Dec. 1776. 

His name appears on the monument in Trinity Church Yard, which was erected to 
the memory of those who died on the prison ship. 

The following is taken from the Register of St. John's Church, Easton : 

"1830, Maria (Herster) of the family of Peter Marstellar, born Aug. 26, 1736, 
"baptized and confirmed in the Lutheran Church, from which time a communicant at our 
"Table. She entered into matrimony about 73 years ago with Andrew Herster. They were 
"blest with 3 children, 2 sons and a daughter, the latter which is sometime since dead. 
"Her infirmities, caused by extreme old age, increased until it pleased God to remove her 
"from us, viz : about 8 o'clock in the evening of the 14th September, age 94 yrs. 22 da. It 
"is remarkable circumstance, worthy the notice of this congregation, that she lived to see 
" 18 grandchildren, 92 great-grandchildren and 9 great-great-grandchildren.

In Fritt's History of Northampton (1877, p. 268) John Herster's name appears as a 
member of the Committee of Safety, but I have not been able to find his name in the 
official lists, and as he was but t8 years of age at the time it is hardly probable that he 
figured in a body of men supposedly of mature age. 

' ' To his energy and enterprise the citizens were indebted for the erection of several 
"of the flouring mills." 

The old stone mill at the north end of the Third Street Bushkill bridge was the 
first mill built by John Herster in the year 17S9. The deed to this property is in the 
possession of Messrs. Mann & Allshouse. 

The old mill at Williams's, North Thirteenth Street, the distillery half mile west, 
and the distillery above Kepler's, were built by John Herster. 

John Herster took the oath of allegiance (No. 324) 13 Jlay 1778. In 1786 he was 
Asst. Assessor for Easton. 17S7-89, one of the Asst. Freeholders of Easton. From 1795 
to 1 801 he was Treasurer of the County, and during this period was one of the Burgesses 
of Easton. . 






J80i 

He was one of the incorporators of the Easton and Wilkes-Barre Turnpike Co. in 
1803, of the Easton Water Co. 1817, of the Lehigh Chain Bridge 181 1, and of the Easton 
Delaware Bridge Co. 

References to John Herster in Mss. Rec. Penn. Hist. Soc. are Vol. 1767-7S, p. 251 ; 
Vol. 1778-97, pp. 1 1 3-6 1 -63-243-9 1 ; Vol. 1797-1S51, pp. 29-161-99. 

John Herster was appointed Ensign in the 2d Batt. of Northampton Militia, vide 
letter of Co. Lieut. Robt. Lewers, to Timothy Matlack, Secy., to Supreme Executive 
Council I May 1782. "John Herster Ensign in the room of Abraham Berlin appointed

DETWILLER 




ENRY DETWILLER, M. D., great- 

great-great-great-grandson of Isaac Detwiller, 
of Langenbruck, Switzerland, in company 
with his friend, General, Count Vandamme, 
embarked at Rotterdam in the ship ''''John of 
Baltimore^'' and arrived at Philadelphia the 
latter part of July 1817. An examination of 
the registers at Langenbruck reveals the fact that ISAAC DET- 
WILLER was the son of GEORG DETWILLER (Datwyler). 
This is the earliest record of this family (1608), although the 
records date to 1564.

school of the University of Freiburg (Baden), where he remained three years. At the age 
of twenty-one years he resolved to visit America, expecting to devote four years to the 
collection of geological, mineralogical and botanical specimens, and in company with 
General Count Vandamme, he embarked at Rotterdam early in the year 1S17 on board the 
ship "John of Baltimore" arriving in Philadelphia the latter part of July. (He w-as also in 
professional charge of the 400 passengers. ) He remained in Philadelphia for six months, 
and at the suggestion of Bonaparte Vandamme, Menege and other emigrees, he abandoned 
his collecting tour and entered upon the practice of his profession at Allentown, where he 
remained a short time. In 1818 he removed to Hellertown, where he married Elizabeth 
Appel. After the death of his wife he visited Europe, and upon his return settled at Easton, 
where he died in 1S87, " probably the oldest practitioner in the world."

master, and took the oath 11 Sept. 1731. {^2d 
Pa. Arch. XVII, 25.) He settled in Saucon or 
Salisbury tsp., Lehigh Co. He had a brother 
Paul, who died in Whitemarsh tsp., Phila., in 
March, 1765, leaving a wife (Christiana) and three children (Mar-

In my endeavour to obtain the names of the brothers and sisters of Maria Bogert
